Poland, a country in Central Europe, has a wide variety of landscapes because of its location on the North European Plain, the Baltic Sea to the north, and a hilly area to the south.
While there is plenty of gorgeous scenery all around the country, the Swietokrzyskie and Beskids Mountain ranges stand out. The Masurian Lake District is especially noteworthy, as it is home to more than 3000 glistening lakes. Krakow and Gdansk, two of its major cities, have some of Europe’s most stunning old districts and are well worth the effort to find amid its various ecosystems.
